Author Topic: The Golden Age of Blockland  (Read 14256 times)

My favorite was v8 where I didn't know how to move ghost bricks so I spent hours building an 8x8x8 house box because i had to click in just the right spot to place my brick correctly

 Haha, I spent doing the exact same thing. Until I looked at options.

I think the thing about the v7 era was the people.

You had my ID group, the 1000s as the newbs. I've met a lot of 1000s and we're all a bunch of great guys really. (And actually, pretty much the whole group from about 1000-6000 were cool about it too. I mean, we all have noob newbs, but it seems that the higher the IDs go, the more noobish they get.)

Then you had the 3 digits and below guys who are also great guys cause they're the extreme oldcigarettes and they're fun to hang around.

I dunno. I think it was just more of an innocent time. Retail had only been around for a year or so, we had just gotten past the whole Roblox forum raid thing. It was like a Euphoric sense of accomplishment. We knew that Blockland was only going to get better.

Now Blockland is great, but there really isn't much left to improve upon aside from new addons and the like. And rightfully so. Badspot has worked hard to create a pretty kickass game to the point that not much needs to be done for it to already be flawless.

I remember during my first days of retail, I had no idea how to use the print gun so I went from server to server trying to figure it out. I joined one dudes server and he even spelled out how to use it WITH the print gun and I still didn't get it :P

it wasn't until I joined Mr. Wallets server, then he showed me how to use it

V8 was the funnest version of BL imo.

My favorite would be 14. I was overcome with joy about me being able to host. 18 ruined a lot for me. Now I get sqlite errors that are annoying to gameplay. I joined BL in v12, got key in v13.

I like how it is now.

But I do miss those old addons :/

V9 to V11 is the time I liked best. V12 & V13 were okay, but not as good. V14 - V16 was a steady decline from "This game is kinda fun" to "LUL! OMGS I KEEL JOO!!?W?!?1211" V17 to V19 happened so fast, and so did the increase of idiocracy.

Seriously, I think that the increase of stupidity is exponential.

I joined in v8, and it was good, but I really liked the upgrade to v9.  After that all the updates have been small in comparison. 

But handicapped people keep joining.

I'd actually rather have port forwarding back. it would reduce most bad servers and quite frankly, since everyone hosts without port forwarding, I cant join half the servers now. I can never join a server with a "---" ping, even though all security settings that could cause that are turned off.
That's stupid. It would reduce the number of good servers as well as bad.

I joined in V10. And I guess that was my favorite version. :D

Comparing V8 to V19 is like comparing a N64 to a 360

If you never played a N64 and just watch the "Crappy" gameplay, you are going to say its stuff yet the old folks like me who played N64 LOVE it.

I still play N64 games with my friends and its resting right ontop of my 360

It has nothing to do with IDs, idk where people got that assumption.

I find Blockland Vanilla fun as forget at times over retail.

Older people who played back then understand and enjoy the past. The new kids in town think the old is crappy :P

That's stupid. It would reduce the number of good servers as well as bad.
I don't really think so. good server hosters could just port forward as well, there's like tons of tutorials on how to do it :P
besides, I highly doubt badspot would change it anyway

I would spent hungreds to build a time machine just to go back to V8.
